Microbe from Yogurt Impedes Drug-Resistant Bacteria
“Lactobacillus parafarraginis KU495926, extracted from yogurt, hindered the growth of 14 multidrug-resistant and so-called extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) bacteria obtained from infected patients at a Washington D.C. hospital, according to […]
Olive oil nutrient linked to processes that prevent cancer in brain
“A compound found in olive oil may help to prevent cancer developing in the brain, a study shows. Research into oleic acid — the primary ingredient in olive oil — […]
Exposure to specific toxins and nutrients correlates with autism risk
“Our study suggests that metal toxicant uptake and essential element deficiency during specific developmental windows increases ASD risk and severity, supporting the hypothesis of systemic elemental dysregulation in ASD. Independent […]
The Best Exercise for Aging Muscles
“Among the younger subjects who went through interval training, the activity levels had changed in 274 genes, compared with 170 genes for those who exercised more moderately and 74 for […]
The Potential Role of Gut-Derived Inflammation in Multiple System Atrophy
“This proof-of-concept study provides preliminary evidence that like PD, MSA subjects display evidence of disrupted intestinal barrier integrity, increased marker of endotoxin-related intestinal inflammation, and pro-inflammatory colonic microbiota.”
New research suggests gut microbiome plays a role in bipolar disorder
“We don’t yet understand what roles psychiatric medications play in influencing the gut microbiome and our results might be secondary to drug treatment,” Evans said. “We also don’t yet understand […]
Gut Microbiota Mediates the Protective Effects of Dietary Capsaicin
“The researchers uncovered an interaction between dietary capsaicin (CAP), the major pungent component in red chili, and gut microbiota. This novel mechanism for the anti-obesity effect of CAP acts through […]
High omega-3 levels linked to increased blood flow in specific areas of the brain
“Images acquired from subjects performing various cognitive tasks will show higher blood flow in specific brain regions. When these images were compared to the Omega-3 Index, a measure of the […]
Microbes seen controlling action of host’s genes
“Duke researchers have shown that microbes can control the actions of their animal hosts by manipulating the molecular machinery of animal cells, triggering patterns of gene expression that consequently contribute […]
